What if, in the future, there was an adult-aimed miniseries spin-off set in the Crystal War timeline? 2029
A decade has passed since the show ended.
Hasbro decides to do an adult-centered spin-off miniseries, similar to Samurai Jack way back in 2017.
They decide to set the story in the Crystal War timeline from The Cutie Re-Mark.
The show is a 26-episode ensemble drama, basically a cartoon version of Band Of Brothers meets Home Fires, but with talking horses instead of people.
It follows two major storylines:
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Maud Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Moon Dancer in the army, fighting against Sombra's forces.
Applejack, Fluttershy, Trixie, Rarity and Starlight Glimmer facing problems on the homefront.
The majority of the old cast is brought back, and a mixture of old and new writers are brought into the project as well.
Since the miniseries is aimed at adults, the show can address darker themes and storylines, although not to the extent that it becomes totally grimdark.
The first 25 episodes are about the war, alternating between the actual fighting and the effect it has on the population.
The final episode follows the surviving characters as they adjust to peace after Sombra is defeated.
How would you expect this show to pan out, storywise? Any ideas for episodes or specific subplots for characters?
If this ends up being a surprise success, would Hasbro simply smile in satisfaction, or would they try to find a way to continue the project?
